...........MY ! WHAT BEAUTIFUL EYES YOU HAVE! ......More pictures inside the seafood restaurant at the Port of Anzio - and although Irene looks so serious, she really had a good time, I think! The fresh FISH on display just a few feet from our table (PHOTOS BELOW) might be there to stimulate our appetite, but frankly I'd rather not see ANY animal in its natural state right before I eat him! Restaurants put their fish on display so that people can see how FRESH it is, I understand. I guess you can tell the freshness by the EYES. What the waiters neglect to tell you is that usually they serve the fish to you on your plate ALONG WITH THE EYES - the whole head, in fact!! (How gross!) I also prefer not to see fish or any animal staring up at me from my plate! (Sonia feels the same way, but she and Claudio weren't with us this day. They were in Spain). We forgot to take pictures of our food, but the waiter suggested "il Rombo" for me, which is a very flat, brown and round fish (also in the photos) which I was totally unfamiliar with. I ordered it, but I made sure to tell the waiter that I didn't need "to see the eyes" on my plate to enjoy it, LOL. It was good, a very soft and delicate fish, much like Sole. I looked it up online, and found the closest fish (in English) is called, "Turbot".
The other family members had other seafood dishes, and the ever present and popular antipasto too.
